Shanice Shanice's new album Every Woman Dreams to be released February 2006. It's always been about the voice for Shanice. She can boast of a five-octave range, which she handles with beauty and ease. It's good to know that she is back on the music scene after a 5-year hiatus, over which she did a lot of writing, performing and also started a family of her own.

Shanice's new album "Every Woman Dreams" was released in February 2006.

Shanice is no longer the innocent 18 year old that stole our hearts with the wildly addictive "I Love Your Smile," she brings a more adult flavor to this new set of sexy songs. "Every Woman Dreams" also serves as the first single and tells the story of a woman who has been through hardships with past relationships but now touts the confidence to demand the kinds of things from a man that her heart truly desires.

"Every Woman Dreams is based one hundred percent on my life experience", Shanice explains "Sometimes in life we get a little insecure, not only with our relationship with a man, but in general, life. I want women to stop settling and to start feeling good about themselves -- Lovin' ourselves." Shanice soulfully brings it home vocally on this song and eerily evokes the spirit of soul and blues diva Betty Wright. For fans longing for her return, she will delightfully satisfy their hunger, her voice having gotten even tastier with time. She is now able to soar to new heights music and all. "She's free from the record company; and free as a woman. She just feels free in so many ways," she exclaims happily when asked about being an independent artist.

Checkout a sample of the title track, and the video. And also her profile here on NSN.
